Our Race Has Suffered Long Enough ... It is TIME ™

Know what’s the best part about that combo? It works on all characters now. :slight_smile:

I know :smiley:

But I feel so far behind sniffle Is crap with Vega :frowning:

I actually read that in his voice xD

What’s so hard about that combo? It’s a 2-frame link lol

I’m…bad with his links sadness I can do Bison’s crouching shorts so easily, but my hands seem to fly everywhere with Vega…I was just really happy that I managed to control my inputs for a change sigh Now I’m sad again :frowning:

Do you mash them? Never mash any links. When you’re learning a link, try getting a feel for the moves’ startup and hitstun (you’re linking, remember?) and memorize the rhythm. Rhythm is pretty important.

No,I’m trying to do them by watching the animation and catching the points I need to tap the next button. I used to double tap so I’ve been trying to iron out all of it to just single taps.

The rhythm was the problem I had. I actually find things like Bison’s cr.lk x 3 xxScissors easier than something like cr.lpx2, cr.lkxxScissors…which apparently is easier.

I don’t mash anything at all, It’s just trying to get it all spot on with the single taps has taken some getting used to as opposed to double. I can do it with Bison my inputs are insanely steady with him, with Vega they just go all scrambled.

I see, but… Why would you single tap, if you can double tap?

Really the only link I’m having trouble with is st.lk cr.hp. I don’t practice it much though.

I keep getting told that double tapping is really bad practice so I’ve tried putting it down to single. With Bison it’s helped me tonnes because I’m actually landing negative edged cr.lkx3xxScissors all the time without problems so I thought I’d apply it to Vega and see if it worked by using singles. It’s helped me understand his links a lot better but god is it daunting. Feels like I’m having to learn them again.

His St.lk links really annoy me XD so bloody finicky!

Double tapping works in almost any game, so it’s not really bad practice. I personally don’t use it though, and I think as a beginner it’s pretty important to understand a variety of links because it’s part of the basics. If you’re having trouble getting some hard links down consistently, you might want to switch back to double-tapping/plinking when you’re more experienced again.

Actually the only hard one is the st.lk, cr.hp link. The others are two framers.

To be honest, the hardest part I find of that combo is the cancel into EX FBA. Everything else on it comes out, but I’ll get moments where I’ll just jump forward, meaning I’m hitting it wrong at those points.

I’ll press on and keep trying. Rugal will kill me if I don’t and just give up on things XD.

Ah, I know that.
You need to hold down back as soon as you hit the standing hp. Also, be sure to do a fast, clean motion from db to uf and to not tap KKK not until you have input the latter direction.

It’s the clean motion that I screw up. I’ll keep trying though. I didn’t get this far actually trying to play this game for nothing :lol:

Urgh, why is it so late? My eyes want to die right now I’m so tired XD and kinda hungry…

Yeah, me too. I was about to fall asleep in front of the monitor a few minutes ago.

I actually really did, once. The cool thing about it was that I was skyping with a friend. I fell asleep while skyping. I was so irritated when I woke up and read all the messages he had left for me hahaha.

I think immah go crash in a minute. Got a long day tomorrow (Today was quite long but tomorrow’s gonna be worse XD)

prods you on the nose Maybe you should sleep too.

EDIT: Rofl XD poor you. I managed to do that a few times after staying up all night on msn. They ended up actually phoning me because they thought I had died or something.

I’ll be commentating that stream tomorrow and I’m so excited, haha :'D

Yea, I probably should. I’ll doodle some more, then go to bed.

RE: Links
>>" I find charge characters’ combos quite easy, yet almost any combo with roll characters is a pain for me to do…

Night Sasaki and Franzi :stuck_out_tongue: ~

Edit: What stream Sasaki O.o?

Ohhh? Stream? Linkage!

I think I’ll join you on that idea…minus the doodling because my co-ordination goes to crap when I’m tired.

Well, without further ado…I bid you goodnight <3

Edit: I’m pretty much similar. I die with roll characters but charge is a little easier.
Goodnight to you too <3

Good night.

I don’t have the link yet, and I probably won’t be commentating live. I’ll make sure to post once I have all the details though.

Awesomeness :slight_smile: Well, sleep well~! Night x.

I’ll probably pop on at some point in the morning before I head out as usual XD
